Guardian: Reports the following from Syria, " Rebels say.......that Assad's forces are due to launch a concerted offensive in the capital. ".
Lets Get Real:
As long as the Assad Regime controls Damascus and the airport it will remain in power, as noted the military support from Iran will allow the Regime to have TIME, its ally Iran knows if it loses Assad it influence in the region will be hit, also it can not cause problems for Israel through using its terrorist network in Lebanon. Thus do the Syrian rebels need air cover from the the US and the UK and was the Western reaction in Libya, the simple answer is YES, the question should the West take such action is another matter, who will replace the regime in Damascus, will they be an ally or a enemy, how much REAL influence will the West have over a new Government, look at how powerless the West has been with the new Egyptian Government. Thus folks, do you contain the killing in Syria, in other words keep the sides at the same level, if they are killing each other they are not causing problems for the region or do you take action. The RIGHT answer is you give air cover to the rebels and take your chances with a new government, at the end of the day innocent people are being killed, you have to save them, or what is the point, might sound bit on the idealist side but sometimes you have to get on that donkey and charge at windmills.
